Our Week in Pictures!

I love this smile!

Keegan thought this toy needed to be on Truitt's head. After he placed it there he said "he looks like Jesus."

Keegan decided this is the bowl he wanted to eat his yogurt out of one morning.

Easter Eggs!

Wordless Wednesday

Saying Goodbye!

It is so hard to say goodbye to someone you love. My grandfather passed away Thur. night. He was a very special person. He was more than just a grandpa to me. I grew up in single parent household, with my mom and my sister. I never really had any contact with my dad. My grandpa was that special male influence in my life. He taught me so many things, including, driving, how to dive (even though my sister and I broke his toe doing it) and the importance of family. I was privileged to take many trips with my grandparents. I have seen much of our beautiful country with them. One of the most special memories I have with my grandpa is of him walking me down the aisle at my wedding.

I am so glad to have had such an amazing and wonderful man in my life. He will be missed immensely!! It was hard to watch him suffer, but I know that he is in a better place now. What an amazing thought to think of him sitting with our Lord and Savior! One day we will be reunited and I look forward to that day. I love and miss you Grandpa!!!!!

We love you Great Grandpa!

Scooter Time

It was a beautiful day, so Chris decided to take Keegan for some playtime outside. Keegan has been dying to ride his scooter, since Christmas. The weather has been too cold and wet, but it has finally dried up some. Keegan had so much fun! He came home and told me all about his little adventure on his "tooter scooter" (as he calls it). Guess who taught him that? Is this what my life will be like as a mother of boys?

Valentine's Party!

Happy Birthday Keegan!

No, it's not actually Keegan's birthday, but it is his spiritual birthday. Yes, you read that right. Keegan now has a spiritual birthday. Tuesday night as Chris was putting Keegan to bed they were talking about how he needs to be better at obeying. We have been talking about doing the right thing lately. Keegan knows that when he does the wrong thing it is called sin and that it makes Mommy, Daddy and Jesus very sad. He also knows that Jesus took away all our sins when he died for us (on the cross). He then said "Daddy I don't have Jesus in my heart." Chris asked him if he wanted Jesus to be in his heart and he replied "yes!" Chris then helped him pray a simple prayer that went something like this..."Dear God, please take away all my bad things and come into my heart."

Nothing moves me more than to see my precious little boy want to obey Christ. He may not understand the importance of that simple little prayer or what it means to be a follower of Christ, but he will continue to learn and grow in his faith. I cry when I think about the fact that my son will one day be in heaven with us. That is an answer to my prayers and a reason to rejoice!!!!

Feb. 5th will be a very special day in our house! We now have another birthday to celebrate every year!!! :)
